CURRICULUM GUIDE

Since the debut of its documentary “A Tradition of Honor,” the Go For Broke National Education Center has worked to create a curriculum guide that provides teachers with the necessary materials to incorporate the Japanese American World War II veteran experience into the classroom. As a result, “A Tradition of Honor” Teacher’s Guide was developed as a comprehensive resource to educate students on this significant aspect of U.S. history.

“A Tradition of Honor” Teacher’s Guide contains everything needed to assist educators in preparing assignments and engaging students in classroom discussions. Each pre-constructed lesson plan corresponds to a section of the documentary, reinforcing key facts and ideas through both textual and visual media. Historical overviews and timelines set the story of the Japanese American veteran experience in the context of World War II and U.S. history. In addition, glossaries, literature lists and fact sheets equip teachers with the necessary background information for classroom instruction.
